Wang’s research primarily investigates neurodegenerative disorders such as Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s disease, utilizing functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) and diffusion tensor imaging to map brain connectivity and muscle damage mechanisms. Their work also explores olfactory system dysfunction as an early biomarker for neurodegeneration and examines neuroimaging applications in studying substance use effects like e-cigarettes.
Key publication trends include:
- Neurodegeneration and brain connectivity studies (Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s)
- Advancements in MRI-based diagnostics and imaging
- Interdisciplinary work linking neuroscience, radiology, and public health
- Focus on prefrontal cortex, hippocampus, and olfactory system interactions
Wang’s recent projects include a NINDS-funded study on olfactory neurodegeneration in early-stage Parkinson’s disease, demonstrating active federal grant support. Collaborations span multiple institutions and disciplines, with notable contributions to neuroscience, radiology, and medical imaging.
